no readers? nope. I'm still here, probably. Tell Scott I'm going to steal his girlfriend and he won't notice because he's on the computer all day. Yeah I know that not going to actually happen but it sounded good, or at least in my head it did.

from bacon-bits :

I'm back on the internet. The cable company officially sucks.

from bacon-bits :

delayed reaction note: Koshka? Wasn't that Russian? I recall Koshka-Krolik, the much feared Cat-Rabbit whom Sir Robin soiled himself and ran away from.

from bacon-bits :

Ya know, I haven't checked this thing since July and suddenly I check it the day after the update. See? I'm psychic... or something.

from bacon-bits :

Nope not in Tennessee, one of the people moving can't move yet. Stupid legal issues.

from bacon-bits :

Have you enjoyed the video clips I've posted on your myspace? =)

from bacon-bits :

Did you see Grindhouse?

from bacon-bits :

Because as of a few weeks back I have no job. And there are no jobs around here. And the whole money thing is important. So now I leech off of other people until I can get the hell out. And there shall be much rejoicing. yay.

from bacon-bits :

Just messing around with that one anyway. If I really wanted a Gamecube I'd have one already.

from bacon-bits :

Have fun on the wii... whee! I'm probably going to be moving to Tennessee within the next couple of months, unless I get some reason to stay that involves my employment somewhere. Ooh, I've never tried bumming a video game system off someone from across the country before.

from bacon-bits :

*poke*

from xinpheldspbx :

not to take away from the hilarity tht is cell-o-phones and moon turf, but just because one doesn't have a super romantic V-Day doesn't mean there's no romance. We've always been of a mind that romance doesn't have to be boxed in a single day; it's better when it's spontaneous (read: from the heart) rather than expected because Hallmark sells pretty cards for the day.

from bacon-bits :

boo! work! boo! school! hooray for caves! watch out for rabbits with nasty big pointy teeth! And many orgasms for all!

from bacon-bits :

and after almost leaving a note for myself... yes, i am in michigan

from bacon-bits :

i have finals and a facebook account now

from bacon-bits :

Nope, finals are next week.

from bacon-bits :

Cheer up, or I'm going to have to sing to you and have my voice make all the little babies cry. Yes, that's a threat. =P

from xinpheldspbx :

You suffering with a rinky dink camera while I have a nice one is an injustice, really. I hope I can live up to the grandeur. And I do, in fact, have portable hard drive, in my Lyra Jukebox, which also serves as a half-assed mp3 player. It's 30 GB and was handy on our trip to China for on-the-spot storage.

from xinpheldspbx :

Yay! Happy is good! And I always promote Canadians. Good luck to you.

from bacon-bits :

My first reaction was "hey, I remember stuff that looked vaguely like that from Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and there was much rejoicing, or something

from xinpheldspbx :

"...can't imagine ever being..." How can someone say that to the person they're with and not expect to get cracked in the skull with a nearby object? It's either heartless or ignorant, and either way... ack. About the pot-- I had an experience like that once, and it turnes out it was laced a little with something else, so it could have been that. Or you could be a lightweight. Or it could just have been some really good shit. Let's go with really good shit.

from bacon-bits :

me too =)

from bacon-bits :

Congradulations... many orgasms for all!

from wilberteets :

Well Thank God. You finally lost it. Congrats. hehe

from xinpheldspbx :

It IS hard to let go, but it's juat as hard to hold on. If someone's meant to know you, they will, eventually. Someone can't come back unless they've left, ya know? As for the alcoholism thing, that's a tough one. Not everyone who drinks too much is a terrible person, but it sounds as though that he is, if not outwardly destructive, at least self-destructive. And that's harder to fight, because when someone's destructive outwardly, at least there's an issue to point at and deal with. Internal struggles are never won by external forces. The question is, as you willing to wait out his struggle, and chance him imploding on you?

from augustdreams :

Flaky better than Crunchie? Blashphemy! ;D And you're welcome - and thank you for the add. Also - I'm with you on the barf-on-the-bed thing too. If you're that sick, at least hang your head over and puke on the rug like my fuzzy ones do!

from xinpheldspbx :

You're SO high maintenance! Really, if you can't let someone puke on your bed, how can you expect anyone to be able to live with you?

from bacon-bits :

Oh, and I'm not on facebook.

from bacon-bits :

Happy Birthday! (a day late) and yeah... the whole barf on the bed thing never did it for me either.

from xinpheldspbx :

Hooray for physical compatibility and tolerating things! Oh, and happy birthday!

from bacon-bits :

Heh, that's what I tell people. "I'm soooo busy with this, that, the other thing and some more stuff." "Well, at least you can't complain about being bored."

from bacon-bits :

who can't spell difference

from bacon-bits :

lol, but the differece is I'm a computer nerd

from bacon-bits :

my decision to go for a computer programming degree involves many computer classes =)

from bacon-bits :

Hooray for inexpensive solutions.

from xinpheldspbx :

Did I mention that I know exactly what the bell jar coming down feels like? It sucks. Hard.

from xinpheldspbx :

I do hope it's the pills making you crazy, because at least then you can do something about it. And don't think it's a bad idea letting a potential date subject know that you've come off to relationships that ended up being difficult for you. That way you might b lucky enough o find someone who's not to selfish enough to give a crap about someone else's feelings for once. You certainly deserve some caring for.

from xinpheldspbx :

I would disagree with you except for the fact that I agree with you.

from bacon-bits :

No Friday classes for me either. I'll only go Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

from bacon-bits :

The semester starts on 8/21. I won't start until the next day because I won't have any Monday classes.

from xinpheldspbx :

It's funny, the wife and I were just talking to our neighbor about Scorpios being sexually intense. It must be something in the air. The scent of Scorpio!

from bacon-bits :

scorching hot sex eh? have fun! =) But seriously, the only reason I still log in to Dland is to read you, which I do pretty often. Or at least I've yet to miss an entry. I'm not sure how I went from hot sex to that but it still sounds good. Personally, I blame the fact that it's 6:40 am and I haven't gone to bed yet. All true tho.

from augustdreams :

I'm really glad you're feeling better. Wish I could be there with hugs and ice cream to provide more comfort. But I'm thinking of you. (And still reading too, btw. I've just been unforgivably slack about leaving notes. >_<)

from bacon-bits :

=( *hugs*

from bacon-bits :

Long semester? It was 6 weeks. After the summer, it'll be 16 week semesters.

from wilberteets :

Quoted from your entry today: "i guess guys just don't get it and i should stop expecting them to." My comment: The right guy does get it and you should ALWAYS expect them to. Maybe you should not give your last quarter of a virginity to a guy who doesn't know how to make you feel wanted. Good luck. I hope you find someone who treats you the way you want to be treated. Those guys do exist and they are worth waiting for.

from bacon-bits :

St. Clair County Community College

from bacon-bits :

You're still neglecting you're diary. But so am I. Both of them actually.

from bacon-bits :

Damn straight it is =)

from bacon-bits :

Don't worry... you'll never be normal. And that's a good thing.

from candoor :

wonderful to hear about you and your boy... and your vagina monologs sound promising too ;)

from bacon-bits :

yay! congrats.

from xinpheldspbx :

Congrats, Britt. You're deserving.

from bacon-bits :

mmmm shreded cheese awesomeness

from candoor :

it must be love, after all, you upgraded your connection (fingers crossed for continued meaningful fun times for you :)

from bacon-bits :

Yay for high speed internet! I used money from Christmas to upgrade this computer's memory as it had barely enough to run Windows XP, much less anything else. So now I have high speed internet on a decent computer. It's wonderful. After going back to my dad's house on Christmas I tried dial-up again. Couldn't stand it. I'm addicted to cable internet. You won't be able to go back either. The high speed internet has you muhahahaha. Ok I'm done.

from candoor :

Merry Happy New Year and hope it's to become your best year ever :)

from hamiltonian :

You have a lovely journal.

from candoor :

Bradenton?... I just called my daughter (mutual adoption) for her birthday and she said she's up for a job at the post office there... I don't know how I live here (Flirda) either lol... small world :)

from candoor :

you could have video taped the projectile squirting for the total gross out effect you know, but your really kind at heart which is probably why you did not do it... your Dark Tower reference got my smile up... as did your dreams... hope you have fun between school projects :)

from xinpheldspbx :

You may feel like you're back to square one, but you've brought something back with you-- a sense of self worth. Now you know what you don't want, which can be as a good as knowing what you do want. Ponder: activate.

from bacon-bits :

It just occured to me that I should meation that any given amount of Mountain Dew is consumed within a day at this house. (6 liters today) And yet any amount of Dr. Pepper will always be the absolute last soda pop consumed. Heh.

from bacon-bits :

Living at home was like being home alone most of the time anyway, because Dad always has a slew and a half of projects out in his workshop. But it like being home alone with no transporation, no possibility of getting a job, etc.

from bacon-bits :

"this guy downstairs took a shit in his backyard" LOL. And Johnny Depp Wonka? Somehow I have a problem with the image of someone who looks Micheal Jackson leading children into wonderland.

from xinpheldspbx :

um... Yum? Yes. You really must somehow manage to get yourself out of the Plains and to somewhere where your mindset would be more appreciated. If ever there were someone that seemed misplaced...

from candoor :

I had an eharmony profile once... they probably took it down since it's been a while since I visited them and I ignore their "upgrade to paid status" emails... I still say bring your friends for a day at Disney... or Universal :)

from xinpheldspbx :

snorkle - did you see any cool fish?

from bacon-bits :

Well I've been known to eat bacon for dinner as well. Just not often. But I think the last time I did it was on the pizza.

from bacon-bits :

Should I be disturbed that you're calling me a hobbit? Especially considering that phrase about hobbit and a certain late-day meal in your diaryland profile.

from bacon-bits :

We have a road around here called Brandywine.

from xinpheldspbx :

Hey - if I were closer to your age, single and had been cursed to live in a plains state, I've asked you out. I think it's just that most guys realize deep down that they're just not good enough for you. Or maybe you've got a funky aura or something. Nah.

from uridium15 :

it's pretty funny. i got the book vurt because my step-dad's name is vurt (not really, we just call him that for unrelated reasons) and i thought, wow, i bet thinking of this in context with my step-dad will be hilarious. and it was. porno-vurts. lol. anyway, you should like, have a big thing saying "IF YOU CAME HERE BY THE FEATHER BANNER, READ VURT BY JEFF NOON OR ELSE GET LOST (and incidentally die a grizzly death)!!!! And then people can read it and be like wow, best book ever, except for matthew goods. or i'm on crack. i'll shut up now.

from charminggirl :

i saw your banner, a vurt fan!!! whoohoo

from candoor :

I just came by to leave a hug for you, just cuz I care and have a moment... hug.

from bacon-bits :

Damn straight. I have a right to whine in there if I want. And you can still rest assured that your weekend has been more productive than mine. And I couldn't allow myself not have posted any of your last 10 notes. Got back here just in time.

from augustdreams :

Oh sweetie, I know so well how you're feeling. I wish I could soothe your pain and sorrow with words alone. Please know that you ARE loved. There are a lot of people who care about you, including some you've never even met! You have so much to offer and that guy will wake up one day and realize he threw away his chance at being an important part of the life of a beautiful, talented and amazing woman. I know how much it hurts. All you can do is hang on. Cry as much as you need to, lean on your friends, get angry, be sad, do whatever helps you release it and heal your heart. I promise that it gets better. I'm a couple months down the road from where you're standing and the color has faded back into my world. For a while there, it was nothing but broken shards and shades of grey. You'll be okay. I'm sure you have plenty of hands to hold, but if you ever need another one just drop me an email.

from candoor :

you've got more friends than you know and you can find more closer, just take it one step at a time and keep faith in yourself... you gave your best and that IS good enough for anyone who is mature enough to want a relationship with one person... hugs all around, I believe in you :)

from hibiscus101 :

your welcome:)

from wilberteets :

I've been there... recently. I know this pain you are feeling. My guy decided it has to be over... for reasons all too murky and unclear, after promising to love me across all space and time for-freakin-ever. He drops this bombshell on me after 7 years of a really fantastic relationship. I have no idea what he's thinking. I can't even say it will be alright in a little while, because I'm not alright yet. But know you do not suffer alone. Hang in there.

from hibiscus101 :

wow. what an ass. ((big hug)) for you. i got to you very randomly and you write beautifully. remember to smile.

from candoor :

hey, the three of us can get together and bash men... well, I can pretend the women who screwed me were men... then we can go on a roller coaster a few dozen times until we are dizzy and then to a theme park for distraction and dinner... or whatever you like (object: fun!)

from augustdreams :

I came here via a link from Candoor. I'm so sorry. I'm only a short ways down the road from where you're standing right now. I know how much it hurts, how much it rocks you to your foundations and shatters what you thought you knew and could trust. I wish I had magic words that could soothe your pain. All I can offer is the promise that it WILL get better. Every day it's going to drag on your soul a little less. Don't feel bad about crying, and don't let anyone else make you feel bad about it either. And don't lose sight of how much you rock.

from candoor :

I wish there was something I could do... I'd offer a day out at the theme parks or some other activity you enjoy if it would help... find something your enjoy and take the power back from him, you are beautiful and deserve much better...

from bacon-bits :

I'm sorry.

from candoor :

Happy Birthday :)

from candoor :

I am late for everything online, so you'll just have to celebrate your birthday all over again if you were foolish enough to stop before I got here (see, this is my purpose in life, to extend celebrations by being cleverly late... yes, I know you're too intelligent to believe that, but go along with it anyway so and you have a reason to jump for joy some more even more than before, right? :)

from bacon-bits :

I might see it if I bother to get it on DVD, but other than that, I'm not going to bother.

from bacon-bits :

Heh, and I've been bombarded with comments about how good corpse bride was lately. Still, I didn't plan to go see it anyway.

from bacon-bits :

Happy Birthday!

from bacon-bits :

Heh, that's the kind of thing I remember most as being said by people from high school.

from bacon-bits :

Wow, that wasn't even worth a response. But I'm making one anyway. =P I'm not sure which is actually sadder.

from bacon-bits :

Yeah, that's what I thought.

from bacon-bits :

Since when?

from bacon-bits :

I'm not going to... I just wrote that right after it happened when I felt like doing it.

from thereptile :

your welcome i love stephen king novels .

from bacon-bits :

Yeah, it is a dork thing to say. That's why I probably would say it if I had the chance to. And no, I never did push all the buttons in an elevator.

from bacon-bits :

Yeah well playing video games and holding someone I love in my arms are two of my favorite things to do. =P

from bacon-bits :

I had happy pills once. They weren't very strong. So I tended to take several at once.

from bacon-bits :

err... that's just school counselors there

from bacon-bits :

The thought of seeing a counselor has occured to me but I've never seriously considered it. Back in the days of my not doing anything at Port Huron Northern High School I was notoriously uncooperative with counselor's awkward questions. Plus I'd answer some questions in a technically honest but misleading way. I found that somewhat entertaining.

from bacon-bits :

It seems I made that previous comment before from mistresslink : brave brave brave brave sir robin...i wonder what sir robin would do were he to encounter the dreaded and most fearsome cat-rabbit... from bacon-bits : Soil himself and run away?

from bacon-bits :

But I for one do remember the cat-rabbit. Brave Sir Robin would soil himself and run away from it.

from bacon-bits :

I'm always reading stuff. I always re-read any series I get new books in too. I'm still doing that from the books I ordered after last Christmas. And no problem about the "trying to talk sense in to you." I tell people what I think if I have anything of significance to say. But whatever they choose they choose. Who knows? It may even work out for the best this way.

from bacon-bits :

I must admit, I concur with xinpheldspbx. This most recent entry (7/22/05) reinforces this feeling. Plus we're getting quite into the area of trying to control someone else's life. This is something I, quite frankly, find absolutly disgusting.

from xinpheldspbx :

I'm sorry, but if he knows you're broke and still complains about having to pay for a dollar movie, the "man" has some issues, and is most likely a losr overall. Please run, for your own sake. You're better than this, I can tell.

from bacon-bits :

Yeah, I've seen worse too. I use that phrase loosely.

from bacon-bits :

Pssht, Nyquil... just as I have taken 1000 mg of caffine in pill form and fallen asleep within an hour, I had already taken that and not fallen asleep.

from bacon-bits :

I'm exhausted too. I've swung from hypersomnia to insomnia in a matter of days. Find some tranquilizers and share please.

from bacon-bits :

mmmm fruit loops

from bacon-bits :

I download on my dial-up. The only broadband you can get where I live costs $60/month. No thanks. I'll wait until DSL gets here. Stops 10 miles from my house. Dial-up sucks. Crappy phone lines suck too. 21.6 kbps really sucks.

from bacon-bits :

I download all my music. And it's mostly public domain stuff anyway. At least the stuff I download is.

from bacon-bits :

Woo! Go Sonic! =)

from bacon-bits :

Yes, I have a towel. I need to dry myself off when get out of the shower.

from bacon-bits :

lol, money. Who's going to give me money? My parents don't have money to spare. $40 of my current $42 was from cutting Grandma's grass. No money for me.

from bacon-bits :

Things are fine, somewhat better actually because now I'm out of the inbreeding grouds of stupidity (high school) yay!

from wilberteets :

It might help to be a little bit drunk, but if you go overboard, you might make it worse by feeling sick or something. On your first time, take your time, try not to dwell on being scared, and it helps if you are really turned on. Not everyone bleeds. Not everyone hurts. Sometimes the hymen is already broken from the time you fell on your trike when you were 3. Get tipsy. Good luck. :-)

from bacon-bits :

Ok, so I broke down and updated my diary. Don't know if I'll be sticking around though.

from bacon-bits :

Oh and since you can't leave me notes anymore feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]

from bacon-bits :

We'll start calling the cat Kefka instead of Kafka. Then we can get rid of it on the grounds that the cat is evil, just like in Final Fantasy 6. *nods*

from blue-froggie :

you're welcome :)

from bacon-bits :

Oh and yes, you should be scared of this. Most people would be. You probably won't be too scared of the fact that I'm back though.

from bacon-bits :

I'm back! (no not updating again) but making more of an effort to check people's diaries again (at least those still updating)

from candoor :

wow, checking in without me updating, thank you for that... festival = wonderful (small crowds due to weather and newness, but great people)... played hard, worked hard, had much fun... life is excellent (now to start a week of catching up on writing and reading :)

from xinpheldspbx :

Um, yes please-- ass-kicking called for.

from xinpheldspbx :

I was thinking of changing my name to Darth Obsequious.

from xinpheldspbx :

Sure, go ahead and get yourself burned on the beach-- but try not to get the rest of your limbs cut off.

from candoor :

hey, I'm like a hundred years older than you and you're madly in love with me, right?... ok, so now go check your guestbook for a slightly more serious note :)

from candoor :

I understand, if I had uteruses to alk through I might not want to hang with hippies in orange groves either... oh well, I can't make you love me if you, wait, I mean I can't make you come out and have fun with nature and hundreds of various unknown musical people and get all hot a sweaty if you don't wanna, but you're welcome and encouraged all the same (skydiving, yeah... but tandom does give me the heebeegeebees... I mean, the idea of some strange dude's crotch strapped to my butt?... what if he got an erection?)... meanwhile, enjoy your vacation and don't forget to write :)

from candoor :

no, actually, I was thinking of the prima donna glittery full-of-themselves kind of girls when that thought popped into my head - and the influence of the music too... you read much more down to earth (real and cool... and three days of music is worth a long drive, nya nya :)

from candoor :

in Florida?... you (and your mom) should come to the Music Festival (3 days of peace, love, and music) the 20-22nd... augustdreams (of DLand) and I will be there (you can share our campsite, free... or our tent, free too... or bring your own tent... or just come for a day... or just go and see the music without a tent :)

from candoor :

and... the best thing about the Hitchhiker's Guide movie is - it could have been worse... remembering I spent my first childhood in NYC... and I spent a lifetime one night in Toronto (and lived there two years) and I even lived in Niagara Falls (well, near, not actually in) for a year or so... I remember the good, thanks :)

from candoor :

I've got $57.42 (and I haven't got paid yet :)

from xinpheldspbx :

A beautiful artist who serves daiqrealities and chexistential mix? Even the devil would be lucky to have you. Fate brings love to the patient, so try to be so, for your own sake.

from xinpheldspbx :

You lucky duck! I think, however, you missed the opportunity to take stiller in a chokehold and noogie him until he promises to devise a followup to Mystery Men. -- What is it about the Canadian border that activates tha accent? We've been summer vacationing in central ON for a few years now, and it just happens. And once I actually had poutine. You know, once I figured out what it was. If you get a chance to go back, you should go to Ottawa. It's awesome.

from candoor :

omigosh, an internet set up with somebody's mother?... I must be getting old... I'd say I must be crazy, but I always was crazy (hopefully we are laughing... all of us)... age is meaningless, mostly (though I'm beginning to wonder as I still don't seem to understand people who call themselves adults), but in numbers this body showed up the year rock and roll was born (no coincidence, I think), which would be almost ten years before your mom... my number's been floating around the web for years (it's been interesting), but I'd give you the same advice you gave me... and in the end (Abbey Road), I think everybody should start off as friends (it's usually less painful that way :)

from candoor :

when I am in love, every day is Valentine's Day and when I am not in love... what's the point? (that's me, ever philosophical)... I feel in love with you just now, reading randomly through your entries and interests... no worries, I am only a weekend stalker and I'd need a lot of practice to be any good at it (sure, joke like this with strangers, that'll make 'em friends)... it is good to know I have time to read all the Guides again, just to raise my hopes that the film will not destroy the book (don't be cynical about art... ok)... I think this note is over :)

from candoor :

randomly sending Valentine's I see something about a Hitchhiker's Guide countdown... when exactly is it coming out? (and Happy V-Day :)

from xinpheldspbx :

Call it indoctrination by my mother. Involuntary Barry input. -- Eclectic is good. It makes my karaoke skills more versitile.

from xinpheldspbx :

Are you sure that you're not reincarnated from someone who died too young in the mid 1980's? Surely, someone your age should not be relating to going to an ELO concert. Although I did accidentally go see them (sans Mr. Lynne) a couple of years ago in the Flats in Cleveland. Not a glamourous spot for a once-great 70's band. But life's like that. -- When I was little, I once dreamt of time-travelling with Barry Manilow.

from dmcclaudio :

Thanks for the note. It's nice to know that all of my efforts of staying sane are being noticed by at least one person. It's difficult, but, alas, I believe taking care of a three week old and taking finals are possible. I really hope so, anyway.

from silver-blue :

Yeah, agreed, it has it's moments but people are just not something it's ready for. Fine, make shiny things but don't make abnormally fluid plastic people hehe

from silver-blue :

I'm inclined to agree with you about The Polar Express. I saw the shorts for it and thought, if you're going to animate it, animate it. If you're going to use real people, use real people. no half ways, it just looks really wrong. I'm glad I'm not the only one, take care :) (btw, tried posting in your guestbook and it kept giving me errors about not filling everything in despite everything being filled it hehe)

from xaxphyxiax :

hehe...no problem love alice ^_^

from xinpheldspbx :

I'm glad there's someone else that sees the world like I do, at least through a lens.

from lintacious :

wow.

from lintacious :

How is the costume turning out? Hope it's all successful. Much more creative than any of my costume ideas.

from xi-angel-ix :

Thanks! Alice Cooper is great. Thanks for letting me be a part of this webring :)

from vampyrate :

i love Alice Cooper....he's inspirational...

from bacon-bits :

Nope, not really, but still recieving very infrequent note alerts in my e-mail.

from bacon-bits :

This is bacon-bit's "leaving random notes on diaryland due to extreme boredom service" enjoy!

from racorme :

thanx for your note! RYN: when i first listened to that song i wondered where all the lyrics were! moi, i like the hurricane years, and loves a loaded gun. i think thats on the hey stoopid album, but i;m not sure. trash is very good as well. thanx Raca

from racorme :

i;m just glad to find another fan on here. its starnge. there should be more of us. Snakebite deseerves all the recognition in the world. i;m listening to school's out at the minute, as i disappear back into the class room. whats your fave song? Thanx Raca

from bacon-bits :

assholes and idiots, high school be damned

from bacon-bits :

There really are only 3 constants in any school life: sluts, jocks, and stupid freshman.

from lintacious :

What an ambitious and creative halloween project. yay for crafty girlies! am i missing out on any fun, crafty private entries? I'd be interested, and will return the favor, if I ever get enough of a life to have some good content. Good luck on the eBaying!

from void :

omg, it totally made me think of the langoliers too! only i didn't think anyone would get the reference, but that's exactly the image i was trying to convey. No we didn't talk about the thimble stuff. The class was technically on Zen which is a tradition within Buddhism but in order to study Zen we had to study Buddhism, but we only really studied the "pure" form of Buddhism though we had discussions on the some of the other sects. It's weird to me that anyone claiming to be a Buddhist would subscribe to anything so supernatural.

from void :

Just to clear up some things on the whole Buddhism rant (I took a class on it this spring, but am not by any means a Buddhist) 1. Buddhism was never intended to be a religion, in fact, the real followers of it today would never call it a religion, it's more of just a way of life. Buddhism also doesn't expect its followers to believe anything blindly, nothing is supposed to be based on faith. Buddhism simply teaches you to look at the world for what it is. This is not something that you are supposed to spend hours and hours of time doing neglecting your life to do so. Instead you are just supposed to pay attention to the world as you go about your everyday life. The most basic and necessary form of meditation that is taught involves not sitting legs crossed on the ground, but to just pay attention to everything while going about your daily routine. This includes paying attention to all the sensations of your body, sounds, colors, sensations etc. While I find a lot of the basic principles like the teaching that we have no soul and that we are simply the product of the forces that act upon us to be for lack of a better term bullshit, I find buddhism to be much more tolerable than Christianity. I mean they have the same teachings you were talking about are attributed to Jesus (they appear in the form of the noble eightfold path in Buddhism) the use of meditation is also pretty healthy, it can really relax you and make you appreciate the world, also they don't do the whole pressing of their school of thought upon others. Yes, they would like everyone to reach enlightenment, but they have never started wars over it, and they also don't go preaching to people without people first asking them to do so. I should clarify that this is the buddhism that was first taught by the Buddha. Obviously there are people who have done some crazy things with it, your experience with the thimbal things is one such example. There are many different branches of Buddhism that have developed over the years, but luckily the teachings of the Buddha were carefully documented so people can still get at the true teachings if they want. That's unlike Christianity where there is pretty much just the Bible to go on. Personally I don't subscribe to any religion or school of thought because none of them have been able to really answer all of my questions, but I think if I was forced to choose one I would probably go with Buddhism mostly because it teaches its students to question everything and to never take anything on faith which is my biggest problem with Christianity. Yeah, I'm gonna stop rambling now.

Suddenly I'm reminded of "Those who knew him, loved him. Those who did not know him, loved him from afar... To know him was to love him and to love him was to know him."

It's not like I was updating much anyway.

from pumpkinhouse :

Thanks for the thanks :)

from bacon-bits :

I haven't played it since... 1996ish? Sometime around then.

from bacon-bits :

You are 1 of 5 people i know who know have played Phase 10... including myself.

Oh, I don't even consider Kaori Yuki to be a manga artist. She's one of the greatest literary voices of this generation. [No hyperbole.]

from morganlight :

Fucking awesome dream. Have you read Angel Sanctuary? The devil and his fallen-angel love are the protagonists. Heh. I had a dream once that I was in love with an elephant. THAT was weird.

from yecats79 :

Welcome to the Krycek diary ring! Everytime I watch Tunguska and Terma I imagine an extended version Mulder and Krycek make out in the Russian Gulag. You know they want to!

from bacon-bits :

Meationing that in entries would get redundant.

from bacon-bits :

That wasn't what I was talking about in that entry. Besides, I'm always thinking about that.

from bacon-bits :

Yeah, gotta love Trekkers and LOTR guys! LOL nice poem.

from topfiver :

I shall never question you again

from topfiver :

OMG!!! So my friend and I went to taco bell yesterday and THEY HAVE CHEESEY POTATOES!!! I must say that's quite possibly the best thing I've ever had my mouth around. You are a goddess for telling me about them. I'm eternally in your debt.

from bacon-bits :

I don't have another year of high school. Just another semester. I'll get out in January. I'm going to go eat some pizza and drink some mountain dew at 2:00 am and stay up until 10:00 am and sleep through most of the afternoon now.

from topfiver :

Agreed: all of the shorts in King's Four Past Midnight are excellent. I didn't include them for two reasons: 1, theyre a little on the long side, I mean there are novels shorter than the langoliers, so I think King is pushing it calling it a short. 2, King to be honest creeps me out, I don't handle scary movies or books well. I've read the Stand, Green Mile, Tommyknockers, and Four Past Midnight. But I generally get so freaked out I have to put them down for a few weeks somewhere in the middle. So I honestly just can't enjoy them as much as other types of writing. And since the list is of my favs and not necessarily the best shorts, I omitted them. Though I do think Langoliers would make the top ten regardles of my being a pansy

from topfiver :

two things 1: I worked in a bookstore for damn near two years and yes the stupid people who buy their stupid pop fiction and romance novels will drive you nuts and makes you vow never to read a book that has been on a top ten list again (seriously I have done this, until about four months ago I refused to read the fifth Harry Potter because it came out while I was working there and the mania made me sick) And anyone who has the knowledge that he's looking for can probably get a better job than working at his hole in the wall store, so he's just being a dumbass. 2. I went to taco bell today per your suggestion for cheesy potatoes and the chick at the cash register said, and I quote "What? hun we taco bell, we dont have no potatoes"... so clearly they don't love us up here in the north.

from topfiver :

I'm skeptical... I will go in search of said cheesy potatoes.... p.s. your grandma sounds cool ;) haha

from topfiver :

Hey thanks for the note, much apreciated. Side note: I cannot believe you actually went storm chasing! I saw one when I was four and have been scared for life... they freak my shit out. I purposely got an apartment in a basement because storms scare me haha. Other side note: what are taco bell cheesy potatoes? This interests me.

from bacon-bits :

Cherry Vanilla ice cream? Ewww. Bring me mint chocolate chip damnit!

from catz-eyes :

Being an Aussie, this one is a bit of a fav: "I know as much about D�rer as i know about a kangaroo's rectum. Well, a kangaroo's bum is a pretty tight little number, compared to other marsupial's bums. Well, personally i prefer arse..."

from catz-eyes :

thanx for the welcome note :) btw - am way impressed by your taste in loopy brit humour:"It's just a flesh wound...!"

from bacon-bits :

Soil himself and run away?

from bacon-bits :

I sat in the front and listened to my music the whole way there. But I did have to play track 39 on my monty python/the simpsons cd for everyone. "Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot..."

from bacon-bits :

The Cat-Rabbit, the most foul cruel and bad tempered feline-rodent you ever set eyes on!

from sunnflower :

That was an amazing storm chasing story. I was just writing about this storm chasing site in my blog - http://www.alittleisland.com/little_island/2004/06/stormy_weather.html It's fascinating stuff.

Corey's Penis Song is worse

from mistresslink :

who's alan? he sounds nasty. lol

from bacon-bits :

In the great words of Alan. "If you're horny and you know it sit on my face. If you're horny and you know it sit on my face. If you're horny and you know it and you really wanna show it; if you're horny and you know it sit on my face. If you're fat and ugly go away. If you're fat and ugly go away. But if you are kinda skinny and you're feeling really giddy; if you're horny and you know it sit on my face."

from bacon-bits :

Randomness of the day... part 327: Don't make me sing the penis song.

from bacon-bits :

I've been to Canada many times, but just in Ontario. Sarnia, Ontario. It's right across the Canadian border around here. Right over the Blue Water Bridge.

from bacon-bits :

What's the plan for if the Monty Python and the Holy Grail rabbit attacks? We seem to be fresh out of holy hand grenades.

from bacon-bits :

Um... because I don't have a working snes anymore. Just some games. I also have a sega genesis emulator, a nes emulator, a gameboy advance emulator, a ps1 emulator, and a n64 emulator. I want a sega dreamcast emulator tho. Ah well.

from bacon-bits :

Nope, I don't hate the old windows. Unless im on my 486 desktop machine with its EGA graphics (16 colors) but the laptop has VGA graphics (256 colors) which is good for that machine. I don't need 16-bit colors (65,535 colors) like I have an my AMD Athalon XP machine. And yes I could take it to 32-bit color (16,777,215 colors) but my snes emulator likes 16-bit color better.

from chillidip :

Thankyou for creating it.:o)

from bacon-bits :

Oh and in Everquest the Barbarian hometown is called Halas and is located in the Everfrost Peaks. Yeah Everfrost. Ice fortress much?

from bacon-bits :

No cutting and pasting. Just writing while watching the movie :P

from bacon-bits :

We have found a witch. May we burn her? How do you know she is a witch? She looks like one! Bring her forward. I'm not a witch I'm not a witch. But you are dress as one. They dressed me up like this. And this isn't my nose. It's a false one. Well? Well we did do the nose. The nose? And the hat. But she is a witch! Did you dress her up like this? NO! NO! NO! NO! yes yes yes a bit a bit a bit... She has got a wart *points* What makes you think she is a witch? Well she turned me into a newt! A newt?.... I got better. Burn her! Quiet Quiet Quiet Quiet There are ways of telling wether she is a witch. Are there? There are? What are they? Tell us! Tell me, what do you do with witches? Burn em! And what do you burn apart from witches? More witches! *smack* shh! Wood! So, why do witches burn? *long silence* Because they're made of wood? Good. So how do you tell if she is made of wood. Build a bridge out of her! Ah, but can you not also build bridges out of stone? Oh yeah. Does wood sink in water. No! No! It floats! It floats! Throw her into the pond! What also floats in water? Apples! Really small rocks! (more stuff like that) A duck. Exactly. So logically... if she weighs the same as a duck she's made of wood!... and therefore... a witch! a witch! We shall use my larger scales. Remove the supports! A witch! A witch! A witch! *the witch is dragged away*

from bacon-bits :

Bravely bold Sir Robin, rode forth from Camelot. He was not afraid to die, oh brave Sir Robin. He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp. Or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken. To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away. Or his limbs all hacked and mangled brave Sir Robin. His head smashed in and his heart cut out. And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged. And his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off and his penis... ahh that's enough music for now lads.

from bacon-bits :

No confusion here. I still play tetris. Great story. I wish I could make stuff explode like Tim...

from bacon-bits :

Maybe I've seen that movie too many times? Prolly not. Only watched it about 5 times so far. Blame Corey for my knowledge of the lines from the movie here "http://members.diaryland.com/edit/notes.phtml?user=jameskathul"

from bacon-bits :

LMAO! I was just playing Tetris the other day too. Never saw any monster bricks with "The most foul, cruel, and bad tempered rodent you ever set eyes on" like teeth tho. Where's Tim the Enchanter when you need him anyway? Maybe he could "start a fire without flint" and blow up a few blocks. Or maybe you can get lucky and whatever animates the monster block will "suffer a fatal heart attack so the animated threat is no more"

from louveciennes :

Jack Fairy is Brian Eno, I think. -june

from eriu999-rua :

Ooh - cheek! Your name suggests you're a woman, do you think I'm a man? Eriu is the name of a pre-Celtic Irish Goddess for whom the Irish Republic, Eire, is named. Yep, Coldplay. Couldn't think of the name at the time.

from eriu999-rua :

How old were you in 1986? That was when I saw Queen at Slane. I'm too old (and currently too broke) now to be going to this great big concerts, but I the few I would go and see are the Chili Peppers, Linkin Park, Eminem (my husband would not be impressed if he knew, he really hates him, I think he's a genius), Pink, Dido, U2 (never seen them play live, it's INCREDIBLY hard to get tickets to any of their gigs here), and that crowd who sound very like them and who did that song Clocks, their name escapes me. There's a rumour that Madonna is coming to play here in the summer, she's never been. Bye!

from eriu999-rua :

Yeah cheers, thanks for the welcome. Great film, got it on DVD. Have you ever heard of a film John Cusack was in called Better Off Dead, early eighties? Hey, you're a Queen fan too! Cool! Saw them play Slane in Ireland in 1986, nearly got killed in the rush of the crowd to the stage, it was a fantastic concert. Freddie forever.

from louveciennes :

SHUT UP, "The Talisman"?!?!?! Eeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! Who's playing Traveling Jack, do you know??

from bacon-bits :

Yes, they do. And not always in the good way. lol

from bacon-bits :

Well, I want to see it with Caitie like I did the other 2 and she said we would. But I've been trying to lock down a date and time since the movie came out and when I get close to locking down a day and time she says something like "i'll ask my mom when she gets home" and seemingly avoids me for awhile. PFFFT! Women... (no offense)

from bacon-bits :

I'll probably only see Return of the King once, just like Fellowship of the Ring. Other movies I may or may not see due to limited funds.

from bacon-bits :

I started with the book A Spell for Chameleon which is book #1 in his Xanth series.

from bacon-bits :

That is if you like reading fantasy, which I would have to be absolutely stupid not to know if you do or not.

from bacon-bits :

I've also read books from his "Incarnations of Immortality" series as well as his "The Aprentice Adept" series. All good books.

from bacon-bits :

I've been reading books by Piers Anthony lately. I think you'd like them. Especially the Xanth series.

from bacon-bits :

*gets a BIG gun* Saddle up, lock and load. After all, you need to have a little bit of fun everyday... Ok maybe not a reference from any series but Insurrection counts! As well as other movies.... So assimilate this!

from bacon-bits :

I'd make up another quote but it's about lunch time and I'm so hungry I could eat a bowl of Neelix's Leola root soup. Oh right... never mind.

from boxx9000 :

I came back to have another *look around* I really like how you have all your *rings* organized.

from bacon-bits :

My teachers are always trying to get me to work in groups. I'm not good in groups. It's difficult to work in a group when you're omnipotent.

from bacon-bits :

I'm not sure if I'd call it lucky...

from boxx9000 :

I LOVE High Fidelity, thanks.

from gloryfades17 :

I'm just sitting here and relishing in all your coolness...

from bacon-bits :

I take stuff as it comes, and am only plesantly suprised once every few years. Last time it was starting to go out with Caitie a day before a planned suicide... look where that got me...

from bacon-bits :

Meh. I had to make many posts because I can't make lengthy ones.

from bacon-bits :

I only say it if it comes up, and Star Trek isn't something that's likely to come up on a first date.

from morganlight :

holy crap. descriptions of the way you act when you're in love sound suspiciously like my own. nerve-wracking, isn't it?

from bacon-bits :

I have near all Original Series, all TNG, most of seasons 1-6 DS9 (with 1 season 7 episode), most of Voyager, And missing only 3 episodes of Enterprise. :P And I judge perfection in a carbonated beverage based on how hyper and crazy I get. In that area, Mountain Dew is king! Dr. Pepper doesn't come close. :P... and also "D�j� Q" is one of my favorite episodes, period.

from bacon-bits :

And Dr. Pepper is clearly inferior because it doesn't leave me hyper and crazy.

from bacon-bits :

LOL. I have watched all of the Star Trek series since forever. And I have also seen each and every Q episode made including "Tapestry" from which that quote came. Of course I have seen every TNG episode which covers most of them already. "Q-less", "Deathwish", "The Q and the Grey", and "Q2" I have also seen.

from bacon-bits :

"Blastphemy. You're lucky I don't cast you out or smite you or something." --- Q

from bacon-bits :

You have bad-mouthed the Mountain Dew! I must destroy the offending beverage (Dr. Pepper) or smite you or something!

from louveciennes :

Those Quizno's commercials are sooo freaky. "They got a pepper bar!"

from bacon-bits :

"You shall have a task to make you an example in these dark times. You will find the lost flavor of Mountain Dew." "Good idea oh Bacon!" "Of course it's a good idea!"

from bacon-bits :

In the partially frozen land of Port Huron, The Mighty Bacon drinks some Mountain Dew... and there was much rejoicing... yay

from louveciennes :

Sam Rockwell? I can see that. Excited!! -june

from bacon-bits :

All I'm saying is that I knew Monty Python and the Holy Grail better than most people before I had ever seen the movie due to the many many many quotes from it I heard from my friends Bill and Corey. In fact, I went on a school trip to Cedar Point near the end of last school year. On the way home (I had lots of Mountain Dew in my system) I was quoting from the movie and correcting other people's quotes. When we got back to school, I just said, "Oh, by the way, I've never seen that movie." And a lot of people were confused, especially the few who had seen it before. LOL

from fuschiashock :

you're welcome! high fidelity is the best. i'm not sure which i love more - the book, or the movie. quite possibly it's the movie, since it has john cusack in it and all...

from louveciennes :

I totally, totally hate the Atkins Diet, too. I'm convinced that "Dr." Atkins slipped on that sidewalk as a result of low blood sugar. And I'm also obsessed with Twin Peaks, though I am old enough to have been obsessed with it the first time around. I once dressed as Log Lady for Halloween. -june

from hannahlore :

i love the Sailor V ring, is there any other cool Moonie ring you know of?

from bacon-bits :

People like us are fun though. Such a wonderful change from the dreadful mainstream preppiness around here. Who wants to be normal? I'd rather be eating lembas! lol

from bacon-bits :

Oh, sorry... damn typos... it's www.lordaeron.com and more specifically it's http://www.lordaeron.com/war3/humanunitsayings.php

from bacon-bits :

Oh and the Holy Grail quotes from Warcraft III... there are more in the game and somewhere in http://www.loadaeron.com there's a list... look under Human units. There's also one Austin Powers and one Men in Black reference. I think the designers are like us... scary huh?

from bacon-bits :

You remind me of me. That's scary. LOL

from bacon-bits :

I've only started reading your diary and so far I have to say that you kick ass! Plus you happen to be the only person I've met that's more into Lord of the Rings than I am. lol

So funny. I had a swell work experience like that. My fantasy for my last day was to slap the dentures out of the ugly pie hole on that over-bearing, ham-gobbling, whisker sporting, closet lesbian, ass troll that I used to work with. I had to leave that job to keep from committing murder. ~Teets

from dominobox :

I agree - I think that bottle top story is hilarious. Are your family always as crazy as this, or is it your doing?

from annethegreat :

glad you like Brian, but Michael Weiss, wtf??? Hard for me to be attracted to a man who does a shoot-the-duck, and then names it after himself, as if he's invented something new!! But, speaking of pleather pants, can anyone say porny John Zimmerman??? {drool}

from dominobox :

Nice diary! I thought your latest entry is hilarious - keep it up, please?

from annethegreat :

Was perusing the diaries... and the stalking of Russian figure skaters bit caught my eye, me being a rabid skatefan, and ice dance goddess myself. Yags= very good taste, of course... but... I haven't been able to stop thinking about Brian Joubert since this season started last fall!!!
